I saw that, thanks!

Maybe one hack would be copy the Cabal code to create our own
Distribution.WxhaskellMake, which we can then customise to our needs.

Another solution is to really just find a way to get rid of our
make oriented build method.  If it helps, we could think about
taking over the wxc project, for example and just bless our wrapper
as the new official WxC that we would expect people to install
separately. There would still be the issue of generating the Haskell
code in some of wxcore to deal with :-/

We could also ask Duncan what he thinks; he's quite interested in
wxhaskell's (and gtk2hs's) attempts to cabalise.

Can't wait!

Duncan: I'm CC'ing you.  The wxhaskell team is interested in making
cabal install wxcore "just work".  Right now, you have to "sudo cabal
install wxcore" which is quite horrible :-)
